We have had a jam packed summer with family reunions and traditional get-in-the-car-and-see-places trips. By far, our favorite "nature-made" place is Arches National Park. We were only there for a couple hours in the evening, which proved to be a great call since it was soooo hot. 
The kids loved running through the dirt and sand and exploring. We saw several "dead" trees on the path to hike the Double Arches.

Brady definitely didn't want to be left behind and often tried to lead the way. This picture, taken by Jared, cracks me up. It looks like Brady was superimposed/photoshopped in front of the Arches. Brady was actually standing on a wood post fence and Jared took the pic.
It's a beautiful park and the kids want to go back to visit.
Our favorite "man-made" place that we visited this summer was Hoover Dam. Unfortunately, my camera had no battery power to take photos. I did take a couple of videos, none very good though. We took the PowerPlant tour, very interesting. We then tried to walk across the top the dam over to the Arizona side, but "wow" it was HOT, close to 105 degrees. We got about 2/3 way around and decided that was enough.
It is hard to believe that summer is almost over. School starts in 2 weeks, Aug. 18th. Ethan starts 6th grade, Rachel goes to 3rd, and Luke joins them at their school for kindergarten. He is excited to ride the bus in the mornings with them. Ethan is back into soccer and will be playing in the Addidas Cup Tournament next week.
Enjoy the rest of summer,
Lar
